The "Critical Industry" has long fed on itself rather than its putative subject. And once the buzz gets going for The Kids, or the New Conductor From ..., it takes something really violent to untrack it.How tired I am of the endless NPR "reviews...

Having listened a few times now, I still like the piece enough that I ordered the CD (Letters For The Future). I'll get back about how it comes across on my main system. Meanwhile, I often detect a sort of "buzz" exuded by artists who seem to be supe...

Hello Romy!The guy you can see in the picture is Mr. Görlich himself. There had been some awards for old Görlich speakers in the CAR sector, and so Mr. Görlich was "exhumated" by a car audio guy. The drivers have rubber surround now, have 4 Ohm ...

Below is the text from Slovens Website that presumably knows Anton Nanut. According to them Mr. Nanut did record the Beethoven Nineth. Interesting is that Nanut also record Dvorak’s last symphonies, Jerry, are they interesting in Slovenian rendering?...

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...

Yes, the contemporary reassures are not good but I would like to look at this from a different perspective – why is it so? It is very easy to blame the people who do the reassures – they are ignorant and uninformed, despite of all awards and medals t...

Perhaps there are several working definitions of the term "taste" floating around here? I think of "taste" as it applies in this thread as pertaining to or presupposing a certain level of cultivation that is both broad and dep (or, not); "evolv...

Years ago I was quite involved with the local arts scene, including reading, writing and schmoozing for grants and subsidies, and all the politics of various and sundry institutions and "influential individuals" that are part of the working artist's ...

Moving to the next obsessive step, I traded my cheap-o dial gauge for a regular (cheap-o) micrometer, and I added some magnifying glasses and a calculator, to try to plot a reliable relative indicator I can use with my existing means of adjustment. ...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]You may be right. It would perhaps be worthwhile to look into "better" transformers but I am not sure that an advantage can be found over just going RCA to XLR adaptor into the balanced inputs and thereby bypassing the...

Nowadays, during the week of Shostakovich’s anniversary of 100th birthday, it has been a lot of Shostakovich’s music played here in there. With all my “issues” with Mahlerism-Shostakovich I still listen their music, what whatever reasons…. Today ther...

[quote user="stuck.wilson"]one of the most heinous- outside public opinion- is the current state of 'studio recording'- not scrupulous and thorough transparent use of good recording equipment, but the economics-derived aesthetic of ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I bought a few Linn Records own recordings of Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Dunedin Consort. They pushed them as “Studio Master” but they are WMA files – means the re-rendered compress...

I was listening today the Bolshoy 1948 production on LYS twice. What the beauty. As the tribute to this performance I am posting articles about the singers who did the “Boris Godunov” with Golovanov in 1948. The Articles are courtesy to writing staff...

Yep, guys, thanks, I hear what you saying and it is true - the possibilities of the power devises in commercial and industrial world are endless. Even among regulators there are dozens and dozens companies that DC-AC inverters. Some of them might be ...

well,well, well.Big words.If the Marriot played the music from the Sound Liaison Label,in their elevators with a good sound system, I'd be riding that Thing all day.But that's the beauty of music,diversity.and Glen Gould,of course,no surpassing that,...

In the past there was such a concept of full-function preamplifiers that included MM and MC inputs. With time such devises die out and nowadays it is VERY difficult to find a full-function preamplifier generally and a good sounding full-function ...

Lovro von Matacic was one of the great conductors who preserved the authentic late-Romantic tradition into the late-Romantic age.
He was a member of the Vienna Boys' Choir, then studied at the Vienna Hochschule für Musik. There he studied piano, org...

Many audio publications grand some kind of idiotic rewards: “Product of Year”, “Editor Choose Award”, the “Best Sound at Show, “The Golden Ears” and so on. Trying to stay in the moronic awards-granting crowd I decided to form my own award: I would ca...

Procedure:
In all cases except for the KORG MR-1000, SOUND DEVICES SD744T and METRIC HALO[used with an Apple Laptop], I fed the outputs of the Stellavox SM8 to the A-D converter inputs [...

Yes, behind this ambitious title there is nothing to read besides
my typical rant about audio industry but there is also an opportunity for you
to think.
It is end of the year and audio industry is flowering with
all possible attributions ...

This thread is not about PurePower but since there is a LOT
about PP in there I think it would be reasonable to post it here. I got last
night a email with the following information. For sure my congratulation to Canadian,
the battle well won. I w...
